Welcome in H.C.M.
I read your complaints and as per your symptoms it appears as you are suffering from acute respiratory tract infection involving sinuses, nose, throat and lungs. As you said about pressure in sinuses that is because of infection in sinuses and same is also giving green discharge from nose.
Your pain in neck is due to severe throat infection involving soft tissue of neck.
For management point of view you are advice for these investigations-
(a) X-Ray Paranasal sinuses ( occipitomental view )
(b) X-Ray Chest ( P.A.view )
(c) Culture & Sensitivity of nasal discharge.
(d) Blood- CBC, ESR, Blood sugar ( F & PP ).
After this a thorough examination and clinical co-relation with inferences of above investigations will pin point the diagnosis which may be accordingly plan for treatment.
